@Deblan

whats the line before my text?

@Mojack

Where am I?
I am not supposed to be here
I am lost
A mistake in this world

I remember it all
The fires that I caused
The metal that went through me
I remember it all

I remember her
Getting up
Is she still alive I wonder
No, that’s not possible.

I sit up
I am not myself
I am no human
I am a machine

A machine with a purpose
That is why I was brought back to life
A life I did not want
Nor need

I had already fulfilled it
Was this my punishment?
No, it couldn’t be
I had done good.

Or had I,
Was this all just a lie?
A figment of my imagination?
Perhaps I was dead.

But I am not dead yet.
I can sense it
My purpose
She is still out there.

((I have never done poetry but for that one time in 4th grade..and maybe a few years ago lol. This is based on a character of mine.))

@Simon-Says

On a clean new day
With a bright blue sky
A bright young gay
Began to fly.

He soared past houses, birds, and trees,
He soared all day on the cool, fresh breeze.

He flew all day
Using all his might
Then this bright young gay
He touched down in the night.

tw for emotional abuse and parent stuff

house=/= home

Spoiler - click to show.

my house is a cemetery, an endless wake
for something that was never alive
to begin with.
every time i match my mother's words and yelling
and tell her how she's wronged me,
she grows quiet and sad, says,
"honey, you're mistreating me,
you're making me feel bad,
this is abuse, i'm not your doormat."
(i guess if she died with each hurricane,
she comes back to life
right on time to let me break her heart
in the next one.)

it's not workinggg

@Shadows_in_the_distance

Okay, so I don't think I'm that good at writing poems, but here's one I wrote a while ago.

Life is something that everyone lives.
No matter who you are,
you have a life.
And that life can shatter and break into a million pieces.
Or it can be filled with happiness and stability.

Nobody’s perfect.
Nobody’s life is perfect.
Nothing is ever perfect,
even if it seems like it is,
Nothing will ever be absolutely perfect.
Not even you.
Not even me.
Nobody.

And that’s okay.
Because people will always be there,
to catch you when you fall.
Even when you think they won’t.

Hope is important.
Without it, people wouldn’t have anything left.
Hope is what keeps us alive,
and without it, many people would surely perish.

Or would they?
Do most people just live on hope?
Maybe, maybe not.
But hope is important to many.

(So what do you think?)

Wow… Both of those are very good!

@cue-nervous-humming

I really like your poem, you know, like a liar!

In general i really like it, it's very powerful, thank you for sharing it.

And i figured out how to do the spoiler tag, at the end of paragraphs, instead of just doing < spoiler >, use < / spoiler > (without all of the spaces of course)

@cue-nervous-humming

And @ShadowNights, i really like the thoughts that went into your poem :)

@Shadows_in_the_distance

Thanks. I worked really hard on it. It's nice to know that you liked it.

@hollow-boned

thanks yo <3

Artemis

You tell her you know only one phrase in japanese
I fiddle
Anticipate
Warm eyes
Ghost in my direction
You say
'Skidayo'
Smile
My way
I shiver
She asks if you know what it means

'I love you'
You announce it
Proudly
The ground catches my eye
I dont need to look at the sun directly
To be blinded
By its glow

She says
'Its not the love type of love
But its also used
Platonically'
I wonder again at the limits of english
Where there are synonyms for everything under the sun
And yet there is no words that differentiate between
Eros
And agape

And while my mind stumbles along tangents
My eyes follow the cracks between cobblestones
You ask her how
You would say
I love you
To people who are
More than just friends

I mindlessly trace right angles in the lines below and
Remember the pythagorean theorem
How a2=b2+c2
Can be used and applied almost anywhere
If only you can find a right angle
And i miss her telling you
That in japan
You say
Aishteru
I knew anyways

You nudge my shoulder
Say my name
Mumble
'Ash.. Teru'
I swallow
Parallel lines have no right angles
Theyre never meant to touch
Or even be
Connected

I look up
Warm eyes
'You're going to have to work on the conviction
For that to work
On someone
Someday
Lets go get dinner'

Later
I think about how
Artemis only ever had a brother
Never a lover
About how
As a huntress
You shouldnt pity the prey
For falling into your trap
And yet somehow you do want it to have
A dignified, painless end
About how
The moon always has a dark side no matter how the sun shines
And about how
Easily the earth can separate
The moon from the sun
An while an eclipse is a rare event
It is all the more beautiful
For how the
Moon slowly begins to weep red
Until it is swallowed by darkness completely
Artemis the huntress, goddess of the moon
Virgin
Deadly predator
Sister of the sun
Not lover

Later
You ask if i want to share your fries
I tell you I'm too hungry to share
Thats the first time
I see the smile crumble a bit at the edges
No pity for prey
I remind myself
And turn away

@hollow-boned

i cant quite grasp the meaning of this but i love it

@Bandito

(inspired by the anime Shiki. 4 1/2 of these lines are quotes. W A T C H I T )

This is MY justice. Where's yours?

Justice varies from person to person
A blessing from one easily turns to cursing
A twitch of the lips seems quite fair to one
But can cause rage in another, and it can't be undone
The cold tears of a vampire, whose body is without warmth
Fall onto the ground, spread and go forth
To dazzle one human and frighten another
For one person to dry and to be drunk by the other
I've been dead for a long time, and I will die again
The worst part about this is neither side wins
I just want it to stop, and though it might seem cold
Killing others is never just, no matter what kind of noble cause one upholds!

No life is so little to give up, to think: "I don't care when I die."

@hollow-boned

well that was Wild it's gr8

@cue-nervous-humming

i cant quite grasp the meaning of this but i love it

Thank you!
As a bit of an explanation:
It's basically about someone who wants love and sees this amazing person that might like them back, but because of outside circumstances/personal issues they can't enter a relationship. The whole poem can basically be summed up to mean 'I wish I could let you love me but you're just going to get hurt.'
